Born in the Brazilian countryside, and nearly six feet tall by the
age of 14, Gisele Bundchen grew from humble roots into the most
successful supermodel in the world. This book celebrates her
20-year milestone in the industry with a unique and spectacular
collection of jaw-dropping glamour and intimate, personal insights.
Gisele was just 18 when she made her breakthrough in the S/S 1998
ready-to-wear "Rain" show of Alexander McQueen, who chose "The
Body" thanks to her ability to walk in towering heels on a slippery
runway. The same year, Gisele secured her first British Vogue
cover, and swiftly became the most in-demand cover girl of her
generation. The following year, she was chosen for the cover of
American Vogue, shot by Steven Meisel, and lauded as "the return of
the sexy model" with her bronzed, athletic beauty defying late-'90s
grunge. Since then, Gisele has appeared on more than 1,000 covers
around the globe, in approximately 450 fashion shows, and in
multinational campaigns for the biggest fashion and beauty brands.
With more than 300 photographs, this book is curated and art
directed by Giovanni Bianco. From Gisele's legendary nude portrait
by Irving Penn, chosen as the book's cover, to iconic shots from
such industry luminaries as Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Peter
Lindbergh, David LaChapelle, Juergen Teller, Inez & Vinoodh,
Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, and Corinne Day, it is a unique
artistic presentation of the most famous Brazilian export together
with Pele and Senna and the highest-earning model in the world. The
breathtaking image collection is accompanied by an introduction by
Steven Meisel and tributes from Gisele's closest friends, family,
and fashion leaders, who shed light on how and why she has become
one of the greatest models of all time. First published as a
limited edition-now available in a popular TASCHEN edition! Gisele
is donating all her proceeds from the book to charity.
